Correct.

We don't actually use the Community MIB - we've got our own private equivalent
(developed shortly before the Community MIB was defined, and covering slightly
different functionality, which is why we've never switched).

That makes sense.
SNMP SET requests are meant to be all-or-nothing.
If any one element fails, the whole request should fail.

There's no immediate plans to support the Community MIB - no.

The best approach would be to drop this varbind from the request.
But if you don't have access to the NMS, then this may not be an option.

A quick-n-dirty workaround might be to "implement" the Community MIB.
Try a simple "pass" script, covering the whole of the snmpCommunityTable,
which simply returns success for any request, regardless of OID.

That might confuse anything that tried to walk the table, but should
at least allow the deletion requests to work.
